The world's largest Hindu temple outside India, built in the modern world, is all set to be inaugurated on October 8 in New Jersey, United States. The majestic maha mandir which is dedicated to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, a 19th-century spiritual leader, is based 60 miles south of Times Square, New York, the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in the little Robbinsville township of New Jersey.
The majestic Mahamandir was constructed by over 12,500 volunteers who took around 12 years from 2011 to 2013 to complete this. The temple was inspired by Bhagwan Swaminarayan's 5th spiritual successor and renowned sait Pramukh Swami Maharaj.
Thousands of devotees have been visiting every day even before the inauguration of the temple, which measures around 255 ft x 345 ft x 191 ft and spans over 183 acres.
According to PTI, the temple was designed with ancient Hindu scriptures, including design elements from ancient culture, including 10,000 statues representing Indian musical instruments and dance forms.
This temple will likely be the second-largest temple in the world after Cambodia's Angkor Wat.
